Patient's question:
The external genital area has been itchy for a long time, and I couldn't help but go to the hospital for a thorough examination. During the diagnosis, I was told that I had leukoplakia of the external genitalia. So, is there any taboo for this disease? What are the taboos for leukoplakia of the external genitalia? What should one not eat when diagnosed with leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Since the diagnosis revealed leukoplakia of the vulva, patients should avoid spicy and greasy, fatty, and meaty foods in their daily lives, especially in their diet. Examples include: onions, ginger, garlic, seafood, freshwater fish, large meats, lamb, dog meat, and poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese.Eat more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in trace elements such as iron, copper, and manganese. Examples include: walnuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, mushrooms, tofu, green vegetables, black fungus, carrots, lean meat, pig blood, oysters, sea snails, and sea cucumber.
During treatment, alcohol is strictly prohibited, and spicy, raw onions, and raw garlic should also be avoided. Patients with heavy vaginal moisture should avoid sugary foods such as sugar, sweets, and apples to prevent itching or symptom relief.
